How to Peel Pineapple and Cut it Into Rings

STEP 1: With a chefs knife, cut off the plume and base of the pineapple and set it upright, base-end down, on a chopping board. Cut away the peel in strips, working from top to bottom following the curve of the fruit and cutting deeply enough to remove the eyes with the peel.

STEP 2: Cut the pineapple across into 1 cm (1/2 inch) thick slices.

STEP 3: With a round pastry cutter, cut the core out of each slice.
